Tavis Smiley

Apparently you need to read her book, watch the previous interview and watch this interview repeatedly until you agree with Embar, which means you finally get it.

Honestly it just seems like lately he just enjoys grasping at things to get appalled over.

Answer this Harlowe.. is her statement that most people that ascribe to Islam aren't terrorists but most terrorist acts are made in the name of Islam a true statement?

In the United States? No, it's not a true statement.

That wasn't her context. She was talking about how you don't see a whole lot of violonce done in the name of Christianity, but she sees a lot of violence done in the name of Islam. Tavis was making the opposite argument.

You haven't read her book so you don't know what the context is.

From what I gathered in the interview, and she didn't dispute this when Smiley said it, she's on a mission to challenge Muslims in the United States. "We're not going to get a monster with horns, blue in the face, looking like a dragon called jihad coming in and terrorizing us", she said. And Islam only accounts for a tiny percentage of terrorism in this country.

Nor do you. I do, however, understand the context of her talk with Tavis. You can't seem to grasp it.
